ANOTHER FACTORY.
A Large Shoe Factory to Be Established
in Columbus.
Columbus is to have another thetory.
This time it is a shoe tectory. A prominent
merchant of this city has been corresoond ing
with an eastern capitalist for some time with a
view to establishing an immense shoe factory
here. This gentleman proposes to organize a
stock company and will take $15,000 or $20,000 of
the stock himself, in case the remainder is sub
scribed in this city. This proposition hss been
submitted to a number of prominent business
men,all of whom are eager to get the tectory toas
ted in Columbus. To show their confidence in the
enterprise, these gentlemen are willing to sub
scribe liberally to stock in the proposed factory.
There is but little doubt that this new enter
prise will be a success. Every factory that has
S et beeirlocated in Columbus has prospered, and
le shoe factory will be no exception to the rule.

THE NEW YORK STORE
“ Takes the Cake ” This Season.
It is the unanimous opinion of all that
Cargill’s stock of Spring and Summer Dry
Goods is the handsomest in Coiambus, and
the low prices at which they are being
sold is really wonderful. The proprietor
is daily complimented npon the taste dis
played In the selection of his stock, the
special attraction being the lovely shades
in Henriettas, Cashmeres, Challys, French
Beiges, Albatrosses, Nun’s Veilings, Sat
eens, Zephyr Organdies, Surahs and Moire
Silks, and the White Goods, Laces and Em
broideries are simply lovely. Every de
partment has its attractions, and low prices
prevail throughout the stock. Think of
it. A good parasol tor 25c.; Gents’ Best
Four-ply Linen Collars, new lot, 10c. each,
or fl.00 a dozen; a good Bustle for 10c.;
which will give you some idea of the way
they are selling goods. In addition to the
above attractions, the polite attention you
will receive from the clerks will make it a
pleasure to go to
A PIONEER SALE!
LADIES’

FINE QUALITY.
We call it a Pioneer Sale because ’twill
resemble days of old, when big Bargain
Sales were set on foot irrespective of loss
for the time being, and because it is a gen
uine Bargain Sale, likely to draw large
crowds, and not like some
Cargill’s.

We never deviate from our well-known
principle of
MODEST PROFITS!
And when this is applied to extremely
fashionable goods, on which other houses
are accustomed to make what from our
standpoint are unreasonable demands, we
do not wonder that ladies are prone at first
to doubt whether the goods are what they
seem; but buyers of discriminating judg
ment and cultivated tastes, who do not
care to pay the unnecessary tax simply to
have the stamp of these firms or the other
firm on their goods before they can trust
their own good senses, are not slow to rec
ognize the enormous pecuniary benefit de
rived in purchasing from us, as luxuries,
like necessities, are sold at the popular
prices on which our reputation was made,
and which will always remain its corner
stone.
